Letter: Questions timing of negative reports on Blake Turner

I agree with Louis Giordano’s view, “Overcoming his past makes Turner a good example” (Letter to the Editor, March 12). A person who has overcome his past often makes a good mentor to those at risk.

However, I am concerned about the timing of the release of the negative reports on coach Blake Turner. I don’t see the urgency to release these reports while Lanphier was in the race for the state basketball championship. These reports had to be distracting to both the coach and the players at a critical time. The whole thing smacks of “dirty pool” in my mind.
